And hey, it would be great if you could also include the correct answer as an option in the CONTEST question because all the options given there as to what Android v3.0 is called are incorrect. Is that why there's a PRIZE mentioned?!

I'm writing this here because there was no linked page for the particular 'Gadget tip' that I received today. Under 'The charm of big screen in phones' gadget tip you have wrongly mentioned the iPhone's screen resolution as 320X480 whereas it is actually 640X960 for the iPhone 4. And I'm sure you wouldn't want to compare HTC HD2 with a two year old iPhone 3GS. Also, the 'quick poll' has the last option as 'iPhoneOS'. It was renamed iOS a year ago! Please verify before posting this.
